7. Investing in What Works through Direct Services

Connecticut

The Connecticut Two-Generational Interagency Plan is a coordinated, cross-agency strategy designed to disrupt intergenerational poverty by aligning services and policies that support both children and adults in a family. Through collaborative efforts among state agencies—including the Office of Early Childhood, Department of Labor, Department of Social Services, and others—the plan promotes data sharing, leverages existing resources, and sets shared goals to advance family economic self-sufficiency and racial and socioeconomic equity

The Connecticut Office of Early Childhood partnered with the Connecticut Department of Housing on a pilot program that provides housing vouchers to Head Start families as a step towards ending homelessness and supporting family success.
